Nothing’s more frustrating than having your credit card stolen and having to call your credit card provider to cancel your card and even reverse some of the charges that have been made to your card. But did you know that you can actually use a fake credit card number to find your iPhone when it’s stolen? When someone steals your iPhone, there is a good chance that they will look into the information on your iPhone to find out whether you have been naive enough to leave sensitive information for others to take advantage of. One app helps use that to your advantage. Trap a Thieve for iPhone tempts the thieves to grab “fake” credit card information off your iPhone. Of course, the thief has no idea he/she is dealing with a fake number. Once they try to grab the information, your iPhone will send its location to you.

The app will continue locating your iPhone and sending you e-mails so you know where your phone is. You can then use the information to retrieve your iPhone and inform the authorities. In these tough times, there are plenty of unethical people and criminals who don’t feel bad grabbing your phone. This app can certainly teach them to think twice before they pick up another iPhone.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just turn your credit card information off when this happened in real life? We are still far away from bio-metric and wireless solutions such as that. In the meantime, you can count on apps such as Trap a Thief to recover your stolen phone, and that’s a start.
